What People are saying
Outstanding and unique
Pablo Con 21/08/2016 15:10We spent 5 days and felt in a unique place: ambience, location, apartment, service, attitude, quality. Many years and places travelling and we felt completelly different here. Congratulations for a unique experience and for making us feel very good. The staff goes the extra mile.
It is like a hotel
danielacciolyon 18/11/2014 23:33I have been living in 8010 for 5 months now and I was hoping that, by now, I would feel "at home". However, although there is a very clear effort from staff to make 8010 look and feel cozy and familiar, it still feels like a hotel.
Don´t get me wrong, the apartments are great, with very cool and trendy furniture, great shower (a must for me), awesome bed and good location, but in the end you have the same feeling of a temporary stay.
I have no sense of privacy as the cleaner has the keys to my apartment and routinely enters to do her work sometimes when I am in the apartment. After I complained, the host at the lobby monitors when I go out to send the cleaner in - even when I ask for the apartment not to be cleaned. When I travel, I am required to say the date I will be back for "security reasons". It feels like I am being "watched and managed in my own home". As I said - no privacy.
This can sound a bit unfair, especially that all services provided are great, but it is something that bothers me a lot so I think it might be useful for travelers who will stay for a long time and feel like me.
Other input I can provide is that that there are no facilities at 8010 available for guests (no gym, business center, patio, etc..). However the hotel has a shared space for rent which can be hired at a costs. The hotel hosts for events or functions for external parties on a routine basis, which at times can be annoying if you stay at a room close to the back of the building.
On the plus side I can say that you would have first class service and staff are ready to provide whatever you need. There is transportation (white cab) available at a moment´s notice, staff can go and buy whatever you need (20% surcharge - but cool as you don´t have to go out grocery shopping if you can afford the extra cost) and daily cleaning of apartment.
My take on this is that 8010 sits between a hotel and a serviced apartment. However, when trying to be both it ends doing a poor job a both. It is expensive and service intensive like a hotel (no privacy, not "home feeling") and at the same time does not have the facilities a hotel would have (lobby bar, pool, gym).
Very comfortable apartments, very convnient location, amazing service
BaganChuecaon 26/05/2014 08:57If you are looking for medium-long term stays in Bogotá this is by far the best option. It is very welll located (many dining options around), servioce is helpful and nice, appartments are big. This is by far the best option.
High class and comfortable stay in a very good location
JoacimRCon 17/04/2014 10:45I stayed with Urban Living for 5 days, and enjoyed it very much. The appartments are excellent with nice scandinavian design and are brand new, with all you would expect of services from a luxury full service accomadation. The staff is very professional and welcoming which made the stay very comfortable as a second home away from home. The building is located in a nice and safe neighborhood and is close to the business district, restaurants, shopping, etc. The only bad experience was that housekeeping was a little too eager to help, and took my laundry from the floor and sent it to the cleaner the night before I was scheduled to leave, with the result that some of it needed to be sent to me by a colleague of mine staying in 80|10, and I am not sure I have received all my shirts back yet. However, it was all with the best intentions and these things happen from time to time, but for the future it could be wise to have a laundry form that should be filled in before housekeeping pick up the laundry. I would recommend 80|10 to everyone that is in need for a longer stay in Bogota.
First Class accommodations for medium to long stay
Andrew Con 11/04/2014 19:22We have stayed twice in 80/10 for extended periods and can recommend it very highly. In addition to being well located for business and shopping it is also very convenient to one of the most important hospitals, Clinica Country and a large complex of medical offices and laboratories.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about staying here is the caliber and attentiveness of the staff and level of maintenance in the building. Everything functions well, including a very fast internet connection which is very important these days, and if there is a problem, the staff are right on top of it.
All in all, a super place and would recommend it highly to anyone coming to Bogota.
